Comments of Some of the Most Influential
Papers of the Country.
Cleveland CO., Plain Dealer: 1t is a
clear, sound. practicable, earnest
argument throughout
St Louis Republican: The message
means united party. with Democrats
inside. and the outside for those who
are not Democrats.
New York Herald: The message Is an
able, conservative and statesmanlike
document, which, unlike many other
messages, will be read by the people
and discussed by them.
Philadelphia Times: The message
will inspire more discussion and in
veStigatiOn of the exact relations of the
tariff to capital, industry and trade
than any document that has emanated
from the Chief Magistrate.
Chicago Neacs Qnd.): There is no par
tisanship. no free trade. no appeal to
class prejudice. no special hobby, in the
Presidents message. 1t is plain patri-
otic common sense from opening to
close.
Chicago Tribune blaine Rep) The
message rises above party lines and
presents common basis of patriotic
craftsmanship on which Republicans
and Democrats are bound by every
consideration of the public welfare
and political expediency to stand to-
gether.
New York Times Qnd.): Mr.. Cleve-
land has done an act of craftsmanship
in the best sense. Recognizing a great
duty, he has performed it with courage.
with firmness, and ut the right time.
And he has performed it so that every
honest man must see that it is an hon
est act.
Baltimore NevS: The document is
brief, plain and forcible. 1t shows
that the Presidential mind is forced
upon one issue, and that the Titanic
one of dealing with the surplus, and it
also shows that his idea of the proper
avenue of National relief is through
tariff reduction.
Chicago Herald: Treating exclusive

New York Commercials Adrer,iser
President Cleveland's concise, able
and manfully-candid message to the
newly assembled Fiftieth Congress
can not fail to make profound SEN
satiOn. The novelty in form and the
unconventional tone of the message,
as well rs the urgent and overShadow-
ing Importance of the single topic it
considers, will attract the universal
attention of the Nation to the docu-
ment. If we are not mistaken it will
have decisive weight IN the future of
parties and legislation.
Chicago Times Qnd.): The present
communication is the first example OF
the beginning of the new and better
method of inviting the attention OF
Congress briefly to some suggestions
on single topic of Pleading Importance
on which. in the judgment of the Adj
ministration, Legislative cooperation
in certain direction is necessary. OF
of high Importance. In electing this
course, there is much ground for the
opinion that the timely and excellent
from the White House will
not be passed over with the customary
legislative disregard of suggestions
from the constitutional head of the Re-
public.

The Republican party came into con-

Presidential election of 1860. and went
out of power through the Presidential
election of 1884 The seven National
contests included within this period
tell the story of its rise and fall. and
the record is full of instruction and
warning which can not be too carefully
needed at time when the future of
parties is SO generally discuss ed as

babie Action.
IBy tslegranh 70 ne Dlspatth.

CHICAGO, November IA dairy .NcWS
special from Springfield, H., says The
reporter Of the Supreme Court delivered
to the Governor this morning the first
copies of the advance sheets Of the
opinion of the Illinois Supreme Court
i'll the Anarchists case. Governor Ogles-
by is busily engaged in examining the
records Of the case-the decisions Of the
Illinois and tho United States Supreme
Courts, newspaper editorials, and reports
OF public expressions of prominent men.
Since he entered upon this task he has
not made his appearance Mt the ex-
ecutiye Office until nearly the noon
hour, and then only to remain for
few minutes. After this he re-
tires again to the mansion and deyotes
his attention to a careful inspection
of the case and matter which may have
come by mail to him during the morn
ing. Since the decision of the United
States Supreme Court refusing the writ
Of error the mail of the Governors Office
has more than doubled, and the office
force has been busily engaged in the
disposal OF the accumulation until
nearly midnight. The petitions that
have been circulated in various cities in
behalf of the Anarchists have not begun
to arrive, and the mail consists mainly
Of individual appeals.
The Governor arrived at the execu-
tive Office shortly before noon to day
The mornings mail was full Of
anarchistlc communications from all
parts OF the country, but their
contents were not disclosed. He
said the letters OF EnRle, Lingg,
and Fischer had never reached him.
The Parsons letter has not been re-
ceived, and it may be said for the Cover
nor that he has only newspaper reports
as authority for the statement that these
men will refuse to accept Communication
TO life Imprisonment and demand liberty
or death. Every official and employee
about the State House and all politicians
and men about town who have An ac-
quiintance with the Governor are firm
in the belief that he will not interfere
with the execution OF the sentence of the
court. 1t is expected by those near the
Governor that he will make no official
order, but simply permit the law to take
its course.

The fine lrowing weather Of late, and
for the last few days perfect In.
dian summer, have had the effect OF
putting forward the kale and spinach
crops of the truckers in our local mar

crops, and in many instances remarkably
fine stands, both in this county and

crops of Irish potatoes and cabbage at
the North the demand for the truckers
green stuff here promises to be good,
aud will necessitate the marketing of a
large portion of the kale crop during the
cold weather. The spinach will hardly
be shipped before the early spring.
The steamer Blanche, which left here
on the 2Sth utimo for Jamaica with
slaves and merchandise, returned to port

her cargo and repair damages.

Especial telegram t. the Dispatch
NORFOLK, Va, November 4.-The
Wilmington schooner Ocean Bird, Cap
tain Edward c. Daniels, passenger and
mail packet running from Elizabeth
City, y. c., to Roanoke island and
Nsg's Head, was lost during the storm on
Monday night IN the mouth of PGsquo-
tank river, and it is thought that all on
board persisted. On the schooner at the
time as passengers we're two or three
painters from Elizabeth City, q school
teacher named Howe who has been
teaching on Roanoke island, and a young
man named Daniels, son of the United
States mail contractor, who was in charge
of the Ocean Bird at the time. Also, a
eolored man named Walter Midget.
The disaster was only ascertained yes
terdsy, when the boat OF the capsized
schooner was found adrift in the river.
A party has started from Nays Head to
the scene of the wreck. The packet was
going from Roanoke island to Elizabeth
City at the time the accident occurred.
This afternoon two colored men named
James Thompson and Lewis Gatling be-
came involved IN a difficulty in bar
room on Union street which was ended
by Calling striking Thompson on the
head with q stone. The injury was
dressed at the station-house and the man
was sent to his home, where he soon az

and the cause OF the explosion
again reverted TO the dynamite theory,
the rank and file OF the police seeing
absolute proof OF the fends' work 10 the
latest discovery. The detectives, how
ever, were mistaken in their belief that
the catastrophe was purely an acct
dent, as they can find no motive for the
deed, and the bomb was found among
debris that had been carefully ovcrhauled
the day before. They are open in their
assertions that the bomb was placed
there yesterday by some OF the sena-
tionalists who have been writing letters
to the police and newspapers, declaring
that they were given $500 to edo the
job" Already half dozen cranks have
sent rs many letters to each of the ST.
Louis papers. claiming that they were
the agents of the horrible crime. As the
fund for clearing away the wreck had
run out yesterday morning there were
] workmen about the ruins all day, and
there was ample opportunity to Leave
the shell. The coroner will hold an in
quest Monday.

on fire. Owing to the inhammable
character Of the material the flames

seriously threatened but escaped without
much damage.
The total loss aggregates about &c.,

WASHINGTON. November IA pack
ACE was delivered last evening to Chief
Justice Waite, which upon investigation
was found to contain a contrlyance sup
posed 10 be an internal machine. IL
was this morning sent to District Chem
ist Richardson for expert analysis. The
general opinion is that it is sham, and
that the whole thing was an attempt on
the part of the person who made the al
legged discovery to manufacture "sen-
sation" for sale to the newspapers.
Laf,r.-Sherburn G.. Hopkins, the
person through whom the police indi-
rectly learned last evening that a mys-
terious-looking package had been sent
through the mails to Chief Justice
Waite, made a confession this afternoon
to Inspectors Raft and Horne, in which
be admitted that the scheme was in
vented by himself and Arthur b. Sperry,
reporter on the critic, an afternoon
paper here, for the purpose of creating
sensation. Inspector Raft says that
Hopkins also admitted that another
purpose was to raise some money
through the sale of the sensation to news
paper correspondents.
Both Hopkins and Sperry were imme-
diately arrested upon a charge of con-
spring to defraud II. j. Wynne, of the
! Cincinnati COnlmcrci0i- GGZcttc. Hop
kins also said in his confession that the
package contained few grains OF pow
der-just sufficient to burst the tube and
alarm the person who might open the
package-a quantity Of backing,
common writlng-ink, and two exploded
percussion caps.
This afternoon District Chemist Rich
ardson made an examination OF the pack
age and foun that Hopkins's statement
rs to its contents was substantially cor
rect except that the percussion caps were
une1ploded. Hopkins dated his notes
offering the alleged news 10 various cor
respondents " Room ~, Corcoran build
ing Office of Mr.. o. Z. Austin" Sperry
is the person who cllled at the Chief
JUSTICES residence last evening and in
quired whether a mysterious looking
package had been received.
Assistant Attorney-Generll Bryant, OF
the Post Office Department, said to-day
as to the transmission of explosives
through the mails and the penalty at
tached to mailing the same, that the
postal laws proper only declare unmall-
able explosive or other matter liable to
injure the mails or the persons of those
who handle them, and make it the duty
OF postal employees to withdraw such
matter from the mails when discovered.
None Of the statutes defining postal
crimes make it a criminal offence to offer
such matter for mailing, nor does
there appear to be any Federal
statute declaring such act a
crime. Postal officials, said Judge
Bryant have no right to withdraw from
the mails fully prepaid matterat first class
rate inclosed under seal, unless 1t is
manifest without breaking the seal that
such matter is unavailable. 1t is not
enough, said he, that the package be
suspicious in appearance. II Hopkins
and Sperry are convicted at all it must
| be under the District law.
